NTL are also doing no-subs/free-calls internet, this time with a personal endorsement from Tony Blair. The catch: you have to use their telephone network, and use an adaptor to get on it. If you're not on cable (I'm not) you must spend minimum £10/month on regular calls on their network, but it seems you may still pay line rental (about £10/month) to BT. There's also a 3.5p connection fee per voice call, compared to a minimum call cost (but no connection fee) for BT call. Mind you, they do go live April 17th, and they support Macs from the off which is a first. The latest news: NTL's pre-registration server is maxed out; BT is down 32.00p as of 09:35.
